As
responsible for development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure,
Denmark’s National Survey and Cadastre has developed a value-based methodology
that integrates technical, organisational, value and stakeholder factors. This
methodology has been used as a basis for assessing modifications to
geodatabases.

This
presentation explores the incorporation of standardised methodology in value
based decision-making about modifying geodatabases. This will be illustrated by
examples of analytical methods and standardised tools for value-based decision
making.

Value-based
decisions require preparatory analyses of working conditions and the values
associated with them. These analyses often include locating responsibility for
the process within the organisation, developing standardised and documented
business practices and establishing a communications strategy.

The value
analysis itself is fundamental, as it is here that stakeholders’ needs,
definitions, and perspectives are integrated with economic, technical and
resource constraints.
